To be honest as of this comment. I've got mixed feelings on its announcement.
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Pokemon there's no denying that. But this feels WAY too soon, it was announced only a month AFTER Legends Arceus released. It looks promising but because of the lacking Sword and Shield, its made me more aware than ever and now? Its gonna a lot to get me on board with this. I seriously hope GameFreak delivers

Honestly, This generation looks AMAZING compared to last generation. The starters are cuter, The legendaries look cooler, the professors are hotter, you can explore the world with 4 of your friends online, It has to do with the past and the future, and the game is open world. This is the pokemon game we NEED

I hate it when people call Nintendo Switch "weak". It's not. Yes, it's weaker than newer consoles, but it's not weak. People overuse relativism. Game like Pokémon Scarlet / Violet is not something extraordinarily demanding in terms of tech. Also, it's an exclusive title. The only explanation is that the developer did a poor job while optimizing the game, period. Don't fall into this trap of thinking that "not the best equals bad". It's the same in the Apple universe - people tend to forget that the power of next gen iPhone is almost the same as the previous one. The system doesn't change much, but users would still think they need the newest iPhone to be up to date. This is just insane!

An amazing game that runs like trash. Another 3-6 months of optimizing the game with another team or something could have made this one of the best switch titles. Instead… well, I still think it’s great but it’s just sucks to think how much better it could have been.
